The "Fryderyk" Concert Hall is a place of intimate meetings with the music of Fryderyk Chopin, in the style of 19th century salon meetings. Here, in the heart of Warsaw's Old Town, you will spend an unforgettable time in one of the most beautiful concert halls. A magnificent Steinway grand piano, crystal chandeliers, mirrors, beautiful stuccowork and an atmosphere of unforced elegance, as well as performances by superb pianists, will make you want to return here.
The concert is a two-part recital lasting approximately 60 minutes, based on the idea of salon music gatherings popular in the 19th century. During the interval of the concert, guests are treated to a glass of sparkling wine.
